Is live paella right for your wedding?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Why Gawcott hosts choose us
- Drinks service on request
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- A quote that spells everything out
- Served hot, straight from the pan

Planning the cooking area
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
